pfs_mount: Not owner message

I'm trying to mount one of those irritating Rockridge format CD's. I started the pfs_mountd and pfsd daemons. My entry in /etc/pfs_fstab is:
"/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix,soft 0 0" When I run "pfs_mount /cdrom" I get "pfs_mount: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 on /cdrom: Not owner" and "pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom".
What's goin on?

Re: pfs_mount: Not owner message

Byron,

You get this message when "root" is in more than 8 groups. Check up your /etc/group file and take root out of excess groups for the timebeing. Make it in less than 7 groups.

Thanks, reducing the number of groups root belongs to did the job.
